Of course, the local area is now covered in roads and domestic and commercial buildings, with only smaller sections visible. These areas are more or less wild and uneven. We know this because we walked along about half a mile of what was one of the boundaries of the graveyard – before entering a relatively small area of the graveyard proper which still retained its cast-iron fence. Placed along the adjacent wooden fence – there were the biographies of the deceased that local historians had respectfully researched. The walking was rough-going due to the uneven terrain – which is not suitable for the inform. Efforts are ongoing to do something about the state of the place through raising awareness and funds. This pace was about a mile or so up the road from Horton Chapel – which was our next port of call.
